We can calculate his resultant speed.

Resultant speed is:
v^2 = 5^2 + 1,9^2 
v = 5,349 m/s

Now we need to find angle between resultant speed and vertical speed.
cos(alpha) = 5/5.349 = 0.9347
alpha = 20,8 degrees

Answer is 20,8 degrees

car 1 is traveling south at 18 m/s and has a full load, giving it a total mass of 14,650 kg. Car 2 is traveling north at 11 m/s
kvasek [131]

Answer:

v_{4}= 80.92[m/s] (Heading south)

Explanation:

In order to calculate this problem, we must use the linear moment conservation principle, which tells us that the linear moment is conserved before and after the collision. In this way, we can propose an equation for the solution of the unknown.

ΣPbefore = ΣPafter

where:

P = linear momentum [kg*m/s]

Let's take the southward movement as negative and the northward movement as positive.

-(m_{1}*v_{1})+(m_{2}*v_{2})=-(m_{1}*v_{3})+(m_{2}*v_{4})

where:

m₁ = mass of car 1 = 14650 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of car 1 = 18 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of car 2 = 3825 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of car 2 = 11 [m/s]

v₃ = velocity of car 1 after the collison = 6 [m/s]

v₄ = velocity of car 2 after the collision [m/s]

-(14650*18)+(3825*11)=(14650*6)-(3825*v_{4})\\v_{4}=80.92[m/s]

An electric field of 790,000 N/C points due west at a certain spot. What is the magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of
matrenka [14]

Answer:

-2370000 N force acts on the charge particle    

Explanation:

We have given electric field E = 790000 N/C

Charge q=-3\mu C=-3\times 10^{-6}C

We know that force on any charge particle due to electric field is given by

F=qE, here q ia charge and E is electric field

So force F=-3\times 10^{-6}\times 790000=-2370000N

So -2370000 N force acts on the charge particle

Osmotic pressure is created by the presence in a fluid of small diffusible molecules that easily move through the capillary memb
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

When solutions of different concentration are placed, separated by a semipermeable membrane, the molecules pass from the solution with the lowest concentration of solutes to the one with the highest concentration. This generates a pressure difference on both sides of the semipermeable membrane, called osmotic pressure.
